Besides running one of the nicest small labels and mailorder, Kraak (or (K-RAA-K)3 as the official spelling is) also organises a yearly festival of music, which usually lasts 10 to 12 hours and which are programmed with the very same eclectic taste as with their releases. Since last year they also have a CD release as a souvenir from this festival. Hosted are the ambient talents of Main and Oren Ambarchi, but also the more poppy outings from Wio or Benjamin Franklin. David Grubbs' piece is an entire mystery to me. It's apperently a live piece, but he sounds here like Durutti Column, both in his playing and his vocals, could be like Vinni...but then all 15 years ago. Very odd pieces. Also there are little bits of electronic pieces, by Twine, Alog and It & My Computer. Finally lo-fi improvised experimentalism is delivered by the ever getting better Vibracathedral Orchestra and Toss. From a styllistic point of view of course a hotchpotch, but it proofs for me the cross culture trip that (K-RAA-K)3 is...A true independent to be supported.
